But YOUR support is a game changer at the moment + has a huge positive impact.Dear Red,We hope you are all good and you get to have a good Christmas in a few weeks. And Utd win something!We hope you don’t mind us emailing like this for the first time in a while – but we could do with some help.Support the fanzines is a lovely expression – and the support from Reds each April along with at games every two months means we march on. But it is hard going, we’re not that large, and times are tougher than we’ve ever faced before.Sadly we’re in an era of unprecedented and dramatic sudden rises to costs – printing and distribution (up by 33% in a year and another hit approaching) and all other costs are on the up (App fees, etc) and whilst we will hopefully march on to our next campaign in April, it would be great, if you are able to, to support RedNews right now, and our new mag in which so many hours from so many people have gone into it.We have never experienced, like many are right now, the perfect storm impacting how we publish and produce the fanzine. Not everyone can help, but if you can, please give it some thought this week/weekend. Your single orders makes a big ripple. And you get something decent in return! Thank you.It’s as important and vital as ever we get through this. Fanzines still have a huge part to play in the Utd landscape we believe, even in an era of new media – imagine Old Trafford without the fanzines? Without RedNews? Our/your unique perspectives, background and contributions? Stories, the MUFC community, interviews and Gossip. We have no backers, just our great readership, but without big media companies behind us, it does make things tougher than ever with every new impact.Our future isn’t in doubt because we don’t want to carry on – we do. Or that we struggle for content – we have loads sent in for every issue – or that we’re not being prudent with running YOUR fanzine, with less use of colour, print runs, expenses – we are extremely careful – but it’s because, well, you know, turn on the news and all that jazz….And YOU can help with just one single copy order… For less than the price of a pint.You get something truly unique and independent in return, it’s not a one way transaction just asking and receiving nothing in return – not everything inside will be your cup of tea, but that’s healthy.People sometimes ask us, very kindly, ‘shout when you need some extra help’ – that point is obviously in April, but it’s RIGHT NOW, for this new mag. By ordering a sub or a single copy. That is our shout out right now.We know times are really hard so for those not able to but willing we will offer a free RedNews to read digitally from 23-26th December (with the Gary Nev + 1958 interviews) to give something back to Reds and to read at a time which isn’t for everyone.For those able to support, asking why keep printing if it’s so tough – we want to print on (nb. we use recycled paper), because being a visual reminder each match day to the club hierarchy outside their windows is important, that we’re still there – for 17 long years like many of you, we held the Glazers to account through weathers good or bad in mood and on field success. Every single issue. We’re proud of that.We do a free podcast, we try to do as much as we can in our spare/free time – but we feel at times these days that we’re in the last chance saloon a bit too often for our likingWe wouldn’t be asking now, if we didn’t need to ask now (and whilst we have a fair few times thought about just jacking it in, we want to be there to hold a light, or torch, or party, for when the Glazers are finally gone – to the future!).You right now can make a difference. If you can. Just by buying one mag.If you order the new print mag you get a FREE butcher Martinez fridge magnet and the mag is out on December 21st.Here are the ways you can support us right now.RedNews302/303 PRINT SINGLE COPY https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frednews.bigcartel.com%2Fproduct%2Fprint-rednews302-303-double-issue-december-january-22-23&data=05%7C01%7C%7C3fe4094b055e49ed2aed08dad9252cb6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638061050924254381%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nHKmlyK%2FkbsEU5Vboc8HUvtH5gthsThuortqXsmalL4%3D&reserved=0RedNews302/303 PDF SINGLE COPY https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frednews.bigcartel.com%2Fproduct%2Fpdf-rednews302-303-double-issue-december-january-22-23&data=05%7C01%7C%7C3fe4094b055e49ed2aed08dad9252cb6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638061050924410591%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ALiMZvSDvyZUkolQqi1fgXco167j3oEaVrUMxQejRzA%3D&reserved=0RedNews PRINT or PDF Subscription which we can start with 302/303https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frednews.bigcartel.com%2Fproduct%2Fred-news-print-digital-subscription&data=05%7C01%7C%7C3fe4094b055e49ed2aed08dad9252cb6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638061050924410591%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=urmqCcgDzVAEYqg%2F635QRGwmJS8xiac74VrY1ZOtEDo%3D&reserved=0Or you can support what we do and donate to our costs + operationshttps://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fdonate%2F%3Fhosted_button_id%3DWYGMDSMKMWGHG&data=05%7C01%7C%7C3fe4094b055e49ed2aed08dad9252cb6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638061050924410591%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CSlW1Z9S9T8FqS03AzYmx42wyBuQVzxABenEdijpCXE%3D&reserved=0All our best to you and yours.
